A. it is advisable to continue your efforts in feeding the child DIET : - it is very important to give all types of food made from cereals (RICE WHEAT and other) pulses (DAL) vegetable milk and fruits to the child and this will only help in increasing the growth weight height immunity of the child. YOU CAN GO FOR ANY RECIPES AND FLAVOURS AND TASTE ACCORDING TO THE THE PREFERENCE OF THE CHILD. Start with small quantity and gradually increase the quantity. you can go for different colour plates as well as different size plates to make eating more attractive. Also it is very important to rule out nutritional deficiency in your child because that is one of the most common cause of loss of appetite in the child.

A. Hi mom yea it's tough. Give foods that your baby likes. don't make meal time a struggle for kids or they shoudnt be scared of food. Ensure you don't repeat the same taste. Try to give different flavored food and also in different textures. Have a weekly plan that doesn't repeat any same taste. Don't ever force feed baby. If baby is fussy, Don't feed constantly over a stretch leave a break for five mins so they come back again. Feed at different places 10 mins here n 10 mins out this way it will relax their minds and yours too. Give few spoons of water in between feeds to avoid dryness.
